Wicked Witch's Second Chance
"(Jubei. Kokonoe. I love you both.)" Those were the last thought of the dark witch known as Nine the Phantom AKA Konoe Ayatsuki Mercury, the mother of Kokonoe and husband of Jubei.
She was just killed in her final battle against Ragna the Bloodedge in hoping to recreate the world into her own image so that no one would have to suffer the pain and hatred the people went through, but those she wanted to protect didn't like the way she's planning and stopped her before she could carry on her plan and now her soul is drafting in an endless white void.
"It was a fun ride while it lasted." Nina smiled feeling her soul can finally rest in peace.
Or least that what she thought.
A bright flame-like light shines over Nine from afar and engulf her as she doesn't seem to notice being too busy sleeping in peace, the light lasted for a few seconds until it vanished completely and Nine was no longer there.
"Heh, I hope she doesn't get piss off at me going through the trouble of doing this. She deserves a second chance, and hopefully her new life will be better in a new world." A dark-tone edgy voice said off screen before everything went into complete silence once again.
(Grassy Field)
Nine snap her eyes open gasping of air and shot herself up finding herself to be in a large field of green grass , mountains far off though close, clear blue sky with little clouds, and she even hear some birds chirping from above as they fly over her. She quickly check her pulse on her wrist and neck feeling them beating at a normal pace, this can only mean one thing.
She notice something else about herself like her magic power as she summons an large ice as a mirror to look at herself and gasps.
She has long, bright, vibrant pink hair and bangs with contoured feathery strands that cover her left eye. She has yellow eyes and is well-endowed. She wears the clothing of her Phantom form: her witch hat with it's adorned with a slit accented with the pink fabric on her dress. her hands and fingers are larger and longer, her nails are sharper and her hair is longer and wilder. She wears a purple collar with an attaching magenta cape, a short revealing purple and pink dress matching with two separate long sleeves, black gloves, long black curved leggings with dark purple trimmings and dark purple heeled slippers. As seen in one of her win poses, the pink portions of her outfit eerily glow. Her eye color remains the same, but her sclera has become black.. Breasts sizes: K-cup.
"Hey, hey, hey, what a minute… am I… alive?" Nine asked herself surprised.
"Well, you look alive to me." A little boy said.
Nine jumped from the shock that there's someone right next to her without knowing a thing and moved away a little, but she quickly calms down seeing that it is only a little kid.
He is a very boy about 11-12 years ago with black eyes and pink hair, he wears a red shirt, yellow pants with black pockets, dark-red shoes, and wears a big white scarf around his neck.
"Sheesh kid, didn't people tell you not to sneak up on others like that?" Nine asked.
"I don't think so, I never met other people before because I've always lived with my dad… until now that is." The boy said looking sad right now.
"What happened?" Nine asked, moving a bit closer to the pink hair boy.
"I don't know, this morning I woke up and my dad was gone I looked everywhere from the place where we usually hang out for training to here and I still can't find him." The boy sobbed feeling the tears are about to come out.
"Okay, let's not go with the waterworks." Nine said trying to calm the boy down as she wipes away the tears.
"Maybe I can help you find him, what's your dad's name?" Nine asked.
"Igneel, he's a Fire Dragon." The boy answered.
Nine eyes widen with the sound of glass shattering in her head of hearing the boy answered her question.
"I'm sorry, did you say your dad is a... D-dragon?" Nine asked again, stuttered.
"Yeah, for as long as I can remember Igneel was the one raised me, teaching how to read and write, going hunting together, and teaching me about magic." The boy said.
"Wait, you can do magic?" Nine asked.
The pink hair boy nod, step back a few feet and took a deep breath then blew fire from his mouth shocking Nine.
"(Incredible! This is definitely magic energy I'm sensing and there's no sether in it too, this is magic all on it's own.)" Nine thought shocked.
The fire lasted for a few seconds until it stops and Natsu look at the shock woman with a proud smug.
"Pretty cool, right? That was a little taste of my Fire Dragon Slayer magic." Natsu said.
"That's pretty impressive, I didn't think I see anyone with the ability to wield magic besides myself and few others I know." Nine chuckled.
"Well, wherever in Earthland you were at, it must've been a boring place." The boy said.
"(Wait, Earthland?)" Nine thought, something was telling her that she's not in her world anymore.
"Hey kid, this planet is called "Earthland" right?" Nine asked, just to make sure.
"Yeah, that's what my dad told me about the world and all." The boy answered, remembering the best he could.
"(Hmm, now that I think about it, I am sensing some large magic readings almost everywhere. Could I really be in another world.)" Nine thought asked herself. Doing some deep thinking and come the realization.
"OH FUCK! What kind of idiot would send me to another world right after I died!" Nine growled in anger as she pounds the ground with her fist and repeating the word "stupid" while the pink-haired boy just stare at her confused.
"Are you okay lady?" He asked, wondering if she's going crazy.
It took Nine a full minute to calm herself down again knowing that getting angry at whatever the universe did to her won't get her anywhere, and now is the time to focus on finding out more about this world since she's going to be here for a long, long time.
"Sorry about that kid, I just went through shit not too long ago and apparently someone thinks I deserve a second chance to live a good life or whatever." Nine sighed laying on her back, looking up at the sky.
"Really, did you do something bad?" The boy asked curious.
"Yeah, I was trying to help make the world better even though the methods I used was dangerous and I even hurt people to do it." Nine explained, not wanting to tell this kid her whole life story, just some part of it.
"Well, I don't think you're a bad person." The boy said.
"What make you say that?" Nine asked.
"Because I can tell you're a really nice person deep down and if you were bad as you said then I would beat you up." The boy grinned. This got Nine laughs of the his claim.
"You beat me up? That's hilarious!" Nine laughed.
"Hey, I have you know I'm very strong: I can break a rock twice my sizes!" The pink-haired boy claimed as he engulf his fist in fire.
"Yeah, sure, whatever you say kid." Nine said still laughing a bit.
"And another thing; don't call me a kid I have a name, and it's Natsu Dragneel!" Natsu introduced himself angry.
"Okay, nice to know you have a name." Nine chuckled before getting up on her feet and brush some grass on her clothes off.
"(Wow, those things on her front sure are big. What did dad called them again… boops?)" Natsu thought asked himself, he can't remember some of the things Igneel taught him like with women.
"I'm Konoe Ayatsuki Mercury, or you can call me Nine for short." Nine introduced herself.
"Nine? That's a number, what kind of name is that?" Natsu confused.
"Yeah, I know it's weird but I gotten used to it and the number nine because where I'm from I was known as the Ninth Strongest Wizard in the world." Nine explained.
"Wow, really? That means you must be super strong!" Natsu excited, wondering if she would like to fight him.
"Yeah, it's a pretty big deal, it wasn't easy getting the title but it was all worth it." Nine smirked sticking out her chest.
"Cool, can we fight?" Natsu asked getting all fired up for this.
"(Man, this kid is just full of energy.)" Nine thought commented with a smile.
"Maybe later Natsu, right now I need to find a town to rest up for a while." Nine said walking away.
"Oh, okay, bye!" Natsu farewelled though he suddenly felt sad for some reason, like how he felt when Igneel went missing.
He doesn't know why he's feeling this way toward someone he just met and doesn't a thing about her, but there's this weird feeling inside like in his heart that just won't shut up. So, he did the only thing he could think of.
"Hey Nine, wait up! I'm coming with you!" Natsu called out running and catching up to her.
(One Day Later)
We see Nine and Natsu walking together in a forest following the path that was directed to them by some travelers they met earlier telling the two that the nearest town is just through this woods, though the lady of the group mistaken them to mother and son which Nine denied as her face blushed.
Natsu's stomach started gurgling.
"Hey Nine, I'm hungry." Natsu groaned. He hasn't even eaten breakfast this morning when he notice Igneel was gone.
"Well, guess it's a good time to take a break and grab what we can here." Nine suggested.
Luckily for them, there's a stream nearby with some fish swimming in it a perfect place to go fishing for Natsu as he quickly ran to the water to grab as many fishes as he can, but he's having some trouble catching some.
Nine chuckles at the boy trying to catch fish the old fashion way before fishing poles were invented thinking he could use one when they get to town, but she'll need to see what the currency of this world's money and need to make some herself since she never carries any money around. Plus, she'll need to buy some set of clothes for herself and Natsu since he is on his own right now and will need to make sure that he's in good health maybe visiting a doctor and.
"Wait, why am I thinking about that kid's welfare? He's not my problem or anything, I'm just letting him tag along, that's all." Nine tells herself that not thinking of him anything less or more.
Nine also thought about having wanting to deal with kids anymore since she was a terrible mother to her own daughter over the years when she was being controlled by that Clover guy and tried to destroyed the world to remake it in her own image. Although, deep down she would want nothing but a second chance to become mother for her daughter and given her a great childhood than just getting herself killed by that bastard guy of a snake. Hopefully that Ragna guy killed him by now.
But whenever she look at Natsu, it's like something inside is telling her to let Natsu go with her and probably be together too which is strange since she just met the kid not too long ago and he does have a nice pink hair like hers.
"Maybe… maybe this is fate telling me that I can become a mother again with Natsu." Nine said softly, it left a strange taste in her mouth though it bother her much.
"Speaking of Natsu, I wonder if he's still having trouble catching those fish?" Nine wondered.
"NINE! HEELLLP?!"
"Natsu?" Nine gasped hearing the boy calling for help, and something tells her it's not about the fish.
Nine runs to where Natsu was going to the stream and to her shock see a giant snake with Natsu trapped in its long body and tightening its grip on him.
"Natsu!" Nine shouted worry.
"Nine… this stupid snake… won't let… go…" Natsu struggled to break free of the giant snake as he is feeling his body getting crushed and appear to be losing conscious.
"You damn scaly-worm, let go of him!" Nine demanded.
The snake only responded by spitting out acid at Nine who dodges the acid that melted right through the ground, Nine was about to attack back but quickly notices a large shadow over her and look up to see the snake's tail coming down right at her. She puts up a magic barrier that blocks the tail attack though the force made a hand size crack on the barrier.
"(Damn it, I can feel my magic power is weaker probably because of my battle with Ragna and hasn't fully recovered yet.)" Nine thought theorized.
The tail keep striking the barrier slowly making the more cracks and they're getting bigger, Nine had to think of something quick before things get harder for her, but her eyes widen when she saw the Snake hanging it's head over Natsu with its mouth wide open ready to swallow him whole as Natsu himself became scared begging for help.
This brought back a painful memory of the day she died before becoming Phantom as her friend was killed by the snake bastard, even remembering that insane laugh of his.
"You… stupid snake!." Nine muttered in anger as her body emits a powerful red aura.
"Let go of my son NOW!" Nine shouted as she unleash her full magic power that push back the tail and fires a lance made of ice that pierce right through the head from one side to the other.
The snake hisses in pain as its grip on Natsu become loosen letting him go.
"Let see how you like a little lightning!" Nine said as she teleports in front of the snake and shot a lightning bolt in the mouth to zap it on the inside then it fell to the ground lifeless.
"Natsu!" Nine ran to Natsu seeing as he's breathing hard a little, other than that he appears to be okay.
"Wow, you took out that snake so easily. I couldn't do anything." Natsu panted, jealous a bit.
"Yeah, that what that snake gets for crossing me!" Nine said with a soft smile.
"Hey Nine, I heard you called me your son, did you really mean that?" Natsu asked.
"To be honest, I'm not sure why I said that but in a way yes. I thought since we both lost our love ones, maybe you and I can be a family, mother and son." Nine answered.
"I never had a mom before, but if I did then I would definitely you to be my mom." Natsu admitted with a grin.
Nine smiles feeling happy that her gut was right about being given a second chance to become a mom again and she's glad it's with Natsu. She lifts him up and pulls him for a hug.
"Then from now on, I'm your mom and you're my son. And I promise we'll always be together." Nine promised as tears of joy streams down on her face and Natsu is doing the same returning the hug.
This was the big start of Nine's new life sharing it with Natsu.
